🔻British media have reported that an independent panel has found Manchester City responsible for almost all allegations concerning violations of the English Premier League’s financial regulations. According to the BBC, City was acquitted in only one of 115 charges and found guilty in 114 others.

🔹The club’s punishment has not yet been determined, and it is expected that Manchester City will appeal the verdict.

🔹The case relates to alleged violations between 2009 and 2018, and the Premier League, after four years of investigation, brought charges against Manchester City in February 2023.

🔹The club was accused of failing to provide accurate financial information, not disclosing details of some payments to players and coaches, and violating financial regulations. Since the case was filed, the club has consistently rejected the allegations.

🔹Possible sanctions against Manchester City could range from a reprimand and a fine to a points deduction and even expulsion from the Premier League.

🔹Between 2009 and 2018, which covers the main part of the case, City won the Premier League title three times and also won several other domestic trophies.
